Stud Wall/Plasterboarding in Great Missenden

Internal or partition walls can be moved or knocked down in your house, which can modify the room design and establish a larger open plan room design for a spacious living area or a kitchen diner. When moving or knocking through interior walls, it is necessary to understand both the type of internal wall that it is, and whether it's a load bearing wall. Internal walls can be brick or block partitions, timber stud partitions, or even prefabricated wall panels. There are no shortcuts when it comes to deciding whether a wall is load bearing or not, it's always worth engaging the services of a structural engineer if you are uncertain or can't view original plans for your premises. Load bearing walls can be relocated, but this will often be more expensive and involves using additional load bearing solution, such as steel lintels. Moving or knocking through internal walls will generally consist of demolition of the pre-existing wall, rebuilding or restoring the new walls, replastering and moving electrics. It may additionally demand adjustments to the floor, as sometimes the floors between rooms are not completely level, and knocking through internal walls can expose this. Generally moving internal walls won't require planning permission, but you will need to comply with building regulations for insulation and sound proofing. Consulting a structural engineer will ensure that any interior wall changes that you intend on doing will keep your home structurally sound.

Great Missenden is an upscale village of some 2000 residents in the Misbourne Valley in the Chiltern Hills in Buckinghamshire, England. It is set in between the towns of Amersham and Wendover, with direct rail links to London Marylebone. It closely connects the villages of Little Kingshill, Little Missenden and the larger village Prestwood. The narrow and traditional High Street is bypassed by the main A413 London to Aylesbury Road. It is situated in the heart of The Chilterns Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The source of the Misbourne is to be found just north of the village, although the upper reach of the river runs only in winter and the perennial head remains in Little Missenden. The village is now known as home to the late Roald Dahl, the internationally legendary kids's author. The village has actually routinely displayed in 'Best Places to Live' lists. The Guardian, as an example, showcased a post describing how the village has been 'prime stockbroker belt for over a century' and reflected favourably on its 'ancient churches, beech woods, deep valleys, rolling Chiltern Hills, higgledy-piggledy streets'. The Telegraph in addition ranked the village fourth in its 'Best Places to Raise a Family in the UK' 2015 study. Great Missenden lays on a major route between the Midlands and London. Several coaching inns, specifically the Red Lion, which is now an estate agency, and The George provided rest and beverage for travellers and their horses. Following the arrival of the Metropolitan Railway in 1892, Great Missenden transformed into a commuter village for London with writers, performers as well as Prime Ministers among the guests.

FAQs

How much plasterboard do I need?

How Much Plasterboard Do I Need?

Although many people especially contractors have a tough time estimating the number of drywall or plasterboard needed to complete a project, it’s a rather simple task if all factors are taken into consideration. If you’re able to follow the same procedures taken by professionals to count dry wall sheets, you’ll be in the right direction. Let’s have a look at the procedures to follow!

lTake Square Footage Measurement

• Measure the square footage of the area where the plasterboard will be fitted.

• Multiply the height by the width of each wall or ceiling area.

• Add all quantities to obtain a total square-foot amount.

lCalculate Drywall Sheets

• To calculate the number of drywall or plasterboard sheet is very simple once you’ve gotten the total square footage.

• To get started, simply divide the total square footage of area by 32 (that’s if you are using a 4 by 8 sheets) or you can also make use of 48 to make the division (only if you’re making use of the 4 by 12 sheets).

• The answer you get after the division will give you the full number of plasterboard sheets that’s required to complete the project.

We’d recommend you include an extra 10 to 15 percent of whatever you calculate to take care of the possible odd cuts and wastages. This implies that if your total area is 1600 square feet while incorporating 4 by 8 sheets, simply divide 1600 by 32 which equals 50 sheets, now take 10% of 50 which equals 5, then add back the 5 extra to the 50 sheets earlier calculated to get 55 sheets. If you wish to estimate the cost, simply multiply the number of sheets gotten by the price per sheet. Do not forget to include delivery charges and local taxes.

How to put up plasterboard?

How To Put Up Plasterboard

Putting up a plasterboard is a vital process when it comes to home renovations. However as daunting as it may seem, with a good guide and regular practice you can master the skill within a small period of time. If you lack proper training and experience, we’d recommend you hire a seasoned professional plasterer for help so as to get the best result and also avoid additional costs due to possible damages.

Putting up plasterboard is way quicker than wet plastering and also significantly reduces the drying time that can slow down your renovation plans. With a plasterboard, you can delve straight into the decorating stage and achieve a smooth finish. Below are the steps required to put up a plasterboard.

• The first step is cutting the plasterboard to shape which be one of the most challenging parts of the process. This is because you’ll need to fit the board around things such as plug sockets and window sills. As a result, this involves cutting complex shapes rather than just a simple straight line. To get this done, simply mark out the cut required with the use of a tape measure, combination square and spirit level for a better precision. Once done, you can then use a plasterboard pad saw to cut along the marked spots.

• After you made the required cuts, the next step is putting up the plasterboard. And depending on where the boards are going to be put, this could be a very challenging task. If you’re going to put the boards on the ceiling or somewhere very high up, you’d probably need an extra pair of hands for help. To get this done, use the appropriate screws to secure the boards in place if you’re installing them directly on studs. However, if you’d be fixing them onto bricks or blocks, a drywall adhesive is your best bet.
